August 19, 20241 yr I have an old unraid build (at least 8 years old) that runs like a top but it prevents me from expanding into different capabilities. With this new build I want to future proof myself while also not having something so power hungry. Not the cheapest build but I hope it gives me the ability to expand (future graphics card, network card (dual SPF+ 10GB maybe SFP 28GB), VMs and transcoding (4K uncompressed files for PLEX and Jellyfish). My current server prevents all of this. I would like to keep my case unless I can find something similar. If I bought a new case I would transfer this old to a test server. I have an LSI HBA card (LSI SAS2116 PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS-2 [Meteor] (rev 02)) that I would also like to keep. I have 16 drives now and can expand to 20. I may also want to buy a new power supply but not sure on that yet. That means a new MB, CPU, storage (M2 cache) and memory. Maybe on new case and power supply. This is what I found. Any glaring issues? Compatibility problems?

I don't think this MB will work with ECC. Power Supply Do I need one? Mine is about 8 years old and 750 watts.
